Each year in the United States there are about 50,000 people died from trauma, such as traumatic brain injury, when patients enter the hospital for medical treatment, doctors must be on intracranial pressure in patients with determination, because the increase in intracranial pressure can cause further brain damage, through brain scans and clinical characteristics, doctors are not capable of reliably determining the intracranial pressure in patients with. Researchers point out that current devices are based on the technology developed in the 1980 of the 20th century, these larger, more cumbersome to use, and intensive care units need to connect with external monitor. Researchers develop new sensors in this article, which is mainly composed of polylactic acid Polyglycolic Acid (PLGA) and silicone composition, and can transmit accurate pressure, temperature and other parameters. With the design and development of advanced materials and equipment, researchers could develop more accurate electronic implants, which clinicians operate convenience.In patients with traumatic brain injury, neurological surgeons often try to use drugs to decrease the intracranial pressure in patients with, if the pressure is not reduced, the patient must undergo surgery, however, the new sensor can be placed during surgery in patients with multiple sites to play a monitoring role in the brain.Finally, Murphy said, our ultimate goal is to develop in the brain or the body's other organs, implanted devices, and makes the device connected to the organ to monitor and wireless transmission-related information to help doctors intervene in a timely and effective manner, so as to help patients reduce the risk of disease.
